Salman Khan is set to start shooting Apoorva Lakhia's next project soon. The announcement is yet to be made, but rumours are going on. Reportedly, the superstar is believed to be prepping for his next film, based on the 2020 Galwan Valley clash. He is set to portray Colonel B Santosh Babu, who led the 16th Bihar regiment during the clash with Chinese troops. Pinkvilla has shared a new update that the shoot will begin from this July.
Pinkvilla has quoted source saying, 'The film is based on the best-selling novel, India's Most Fearless and features Salman Khan as an army officer. Taking a break from his usual diet, Salman is following a tight regime and is hitting the gym to acquire a lean physique."
'The idea is to do a look test sometime in early July, which could be used to announce the film. While the pre-production work is going on in full swing, the makers are intending to take the film on floors in July 2025. The first schedule kicks off in Ladakh, for about 25 days, followed by a marathon stint at a studio in Mumbai. A lot of action sequences will be shot at real locations in Ladakh, followed by the extension shots at a studio in Mumbai. Salman has allotted bulk dates to the film, and the team intends to call it a wrap by November 2025," the source added.
'Apart from Salman, there are three key characters in the film, and the casting for same is underway. The team has auditioned for the roles, and have decided to cast none of the in-house talents from the camp. The idea is to pad up the film with credible names, and the same is underway silently at SKF," the source shared.
Recently, Salman Khan sported a thick moustache and a rugged avatar. A photo that emerged online showcasing the superstar's distinctive look has sparked major buzz online, with fans believing it is for his upcoming project.
Salman Khan's last big-screen appearance was in Sikandar. Co-starring Rashmika Mandanna, the film is directed by acclaimed filmmaker AR Murugadoss. Besides the two leads, it also features Kajal Aggarwal, Sharman Joshi, Prateik Babbar, and Sathyaraj in pivotal roles. It is currently available for streaming on Netflix.
